Approximately 550 linear feet of court documents; pleadings; court hearings and deposition transcripts; trial exhibits; government discovery documents; case law files; correspondence; memoranda; summaries; drafts; reports; studies; and internal communication created and/or used during the Agent Orange Product Liability Litigation. Most of the materials in the collection appear to have been created or gathered by the Budd Larner Law Firm, who represented Defendant Thompson Chemicals Corporation. Materials of note include the defendants’ motions, memoranda and exhibits for summary judgment based on the Government Contract Defense; Pretrial Orders 26, 33, 51 and 91; the settlement agreement and its drafts; the May 24, 1984 Plaintiffs’ Conference; and the plaintiffs’ and defendants’ fairness briefs.

The collection is arranged into five series: (1) Discovery and Reference, (2) Internal Communication, (3) Trial Records, (4) Deposition and Exhibits, and (5) Medical Records. Due to the breadth of distinctive topics and focus areas of the litigation, each series has also been divided into subseries.

(1) Discovery and Reference
The first series, Discovery and Reference, includes materials gathered during the litigation by defendants and defendants’ legal discovery firms. Defendant discovery and database firms included Carr, Jordan, Coyne & Savits (firm); The Travelers Insurance Company; and J. Feuerstein Systems, which all assisted in the document production and selection process. The series has five subseries,
(1.1) Discovery, (1.2) Weldon Spring Chemical Plant, (1.3) Military Documentation, (1.4) Scientific, and (1.5) Case Law.

(1.1) Discovery (30 linear ft.)
The Discovery subseries includes correspondence; memoranda; government documents; document digests; reports; studies; contracts; legislative bills and transcripts; interview, conference and meeting summaries; FOIA requests; database searches and disease profiles created or gathered by defendants or defendants’ legal discovery firms. The U.S. Department of Justice facilitated the production of government documents during the discovery process, sending documents in batches based on defendant and plaintiff document requests. The subseries is arranged chronologically with materials within previously bound volumes arranged numerically by volume number.

(1.2) Weldon Spring Chemical Plant (13 linear ft.)
The Weldon Spring Chemical Plant subseries includes proposals; correspondence; memoranda; manuals; specifications; schematics; diagrams; equipment lists; agreements; requests for quotations; purchase orders; meeting summaries; weekly reports of activities; progress reports; an environmental impact statement; and inventories related to the Thompson Chemicals Corporation and Stearns-Roger joint venture at Weldon Spring Chemical Plant in their failed attempt to turn the government owned facility into an Agent Orange production facility. The subseries also includes document reference sheets; coding forms; database searches and correspondence by Thompson Chemicals and other chemical companies who felt the evidence provided by these documents was strong enough to get Thompson Chemicals reinstated in the trial after being granted summary judgment in May 1983. The subseries is arranged chronologically with oversize schematics placed either at the end of the subseries or at the end of the inventory.

(1.3) Military Documentation (9 linear ft.)
The Military Documentation subseries includes reports; studies; correspondence; memoranda; manuscript drafts; map and book photocopies; manuals; briefings; evaluations; summaries; situation reports; daily staff journals; database searches; and medical statistics and reports from U.S. military departments and related officials.

The Scientific subseries includes reports; studies; congressional hearings and statements; literature reviews; conference proceedings; progress reports; workshop drafts; and book sections related to scientific research and discussion on Agent Orange, herbicides and dioxin. The subseries contains some of the Bionetics Research Laboratories reports, whose results influenced the government to halt the usage of Agent Orange in 1970. It also includes Thompson Chemicals Corporation/Superior Solvents site documents related to the positive samples of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin found by the EPA in the soil where the chemical company was located.

(2) Internal Communication
The second series, Internal Communication, concerns materials created and/or received by the defendants during the litigation in preparation for the trial that generally were not intended to serve as official court documents. In addition to the materials defendants created for themselves as resources for the litigation, these materials capture communication within a firm, particularly Budd Larner who represented Thompson Chemical, and communication between defendants, plaintiffs, legal discovery firms, clients, and/or other groups. The series is divided into four subseries: (2.1) Correspondence, (2.2) Trial, (2.3) Deposition, and (2.4) Financial.

(2.1) Correspondence (8 linear ft.)
The Correspondence subseries includes correspondence and lists of mail received with notices to all counsel; deposition scheduling; meeting summaries; motions; memoranda; document lists; government documents; affidavits; case law; bills and invoices; allocations; and briefs that were received or created by the Budd Larner law firm and other defendants during the litigation. The subseries also contains internal Budd Larner office memoranda related to the litigation. The subseries is arranged chronologically.

(2.2) Trial (8.5 linear ft.)
The Trial subseries includes trial books; interoffice communication; meeting summaries; memoranda; notes; filing procedures; jury analysis data and opt-out lists. The defendants used trial books, which contain a summary on a particular organization or topic; plus relevant testimonies and documents, to provide an internal overview on a topic. The subseries is arranged chronologically. Boxes 87 and 88A contain restricted materials and are closed until 2061.

The ordering of the subseries within the series generally attempts to mimic the progressions of the trial with elements that began earlier such as complaints, document requests and the Government Contract Defense preceding liability, settlement and opt-out and appeal cases. The subseries also attempts to reflect the arrangement and categories chosen by the collection’s creators.
